I'm sceptical that I'll get a response, but here goes nothing!
I don't know how where or when, but I lost my volume control button.
Does anyone have a dead HD that can sell the volume up/down button?
Thanks for reading
can't help you but curious as to how you lost it?
Maybe a dummy phone of the HD can be found on eBay with hope that the part is a exact replica. I was holding the Diamond dummy phone and the buttons seemed like the real thing.
Do you mean the thing that part of the back cover? I think looking for the back cover itself could be cheaper .
Hi
It's not part of the back cover, it's actually the volume up/down button.
I tried the dummy phones, but they just have a moulding
I spoke to HTC and they will only repair if I send in ($$$) and the don't just sell the button.
I suspect it fell by being squeezed somehow and flicking out.
grrrr

oh no, it seems you're right after all. I checked my other backcover, and there it was. I didn't loose it at all, it's just that I never moved it to my new cover.
cheers man!!
LOL!
Why'd you get a new cover? Was it, by chance, an attempt to get rid of the creaking sounds every time you handled the phone or used the touch screen? Did it work?
nope, it was because I scratched it!

Hi,
I've got the 9100 for a month now.
and everytime when the phone rings, the screen go automaticly to landscape mode, and the send button is not responding.
i can anser only frem the "answer" button on the screen which is now on the top left corner.
it doesnt happend all the time, but its very annoing.
any help?
thanks
Have you tried a hard reset ?
Hahaha... I know where this is coming from...
You are using the TERRIBLE useless case that comes in the box right? Its magnets cause the screen to flip around... your unit is A-OK.
By the way, you store your unit screen facing out or facing your body? Try changing directions if you insist on using this stupid case (I am using it also but I am looking for a better one).
Has anyone found a better case for the KJAM/QTEK 9100?
I had the problem with the case, too...
But it doesn't explain the send button not working - that's happened to me also, which is damn annoying when you're trying to answer the phone!
oh, and I'll be writing a review of the PDAir case as soon as it arrives... Fingers are crossed!
ooh
It really make sense, the magnet thing.
i don't usually put the device on specified side.
but i will try to notice it from now.
in that case, what about the car holders that uses magnet to hold the device?
Give it a try, use the cases magnets to find the spot on the KJAM that flips the screen. It seems that the sliding keyboard uses a magnet to let the device know it is open and to flip the screen.
The included case is such a useless case. I am sure that NO ONE at HTC actually tested the usability of the case WITH the KJAM inside in an everyday usage pattern...
Also, I am not sure if the magnets don't harm the device..
Many many thanks you very clever and helpful people!!!
I was on the verge of getting on to eBay and letting the top bidder have my XDA Mini, because of this switching lark, but I've tried what has been posted here and sure enough, it is the magnets.
So I'll get a better case and keep the device which I think is excellent.
Thanks again!!
:lol:
yea
it helped
please give us a recommendation for a good case
thanks
Yeah.. would like to hear about a good case...
I was thinking about one of these:

Anybody uses them?
Hi all, just recived my replacment handset ive ive just noticed at the bottom the suronding around the mini usb sticks out one side so its not flush with the rest of the phone, im sure on my other handset this wasnt there but not sure for deffenate.
Can anyone confirm this or is it just my phone
Thanks
Mine is the same - I think this is by design.

Yep, this is standard. The Use connector housing is square and does not follow the curve of the casing.

Something I have noticed is that on my brand new replacement handset (serial number beginning HT643, my original handset was an HT634) the silver bezel which runs along the right hand side of the screen is recessed slightly - nothing major, but when my original handset's metal strip was flush with the plastic casing, you really do notice it (particularly if you're holding the phone in your left hand). Oh well, only a minor issue really!

BUT maybe this is how they are solving the Screen alignment problem - DONT bend it. Only joking but you never know do you.
Mike
Not planning on it I did notice that JUST as I replaced my handset my screen alignment drifted out, which I corrected with a realignment (I had it replaced for another reason - people not being able to hear me after I'd gone through any call which involved entering numbers to an automated menu system, and then being on hold for a long time! for example... To the T-MOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICES PEOPLE! haha).
Very odd, hope it doesn't happen with this device. I won't go hacking the case to fix it though, I'm too lazy for that.

Thats one of the exact problems with my previous handset but mainly when on speaker phone
I have X1 for 5 day now and seem to have no problem with it. However, today I noticed that if I turn the phone upside down (for example, you hold your phone while you in bed.) and touch the middle button (the joystick) it seem to loose a little when I touched
It's normal? Please confirm me cause I'm still in 1 week return if I found problem.
Thank you in advence.
My optical mouse/button is loose too. If I shake the phone it rattles. I would send it back, but I think I'll wait until supplies stabilize...lol.
Thank you very much for confirm it, However it happen to everyone's phone? or just a few case?
if Anyone have "optical mouse/button" stay fit and not loose. Please confirm us too
No problem on mine. My X1 is 08W45.
desman, you man your button is fit not loose?
Yes, I put it upside down and don't feel any loose.
Thank you desman, I think tomorrow I will have to go to Service center to change it.
I just received my active case from boxwave
http://www.boxwave.com/products/activecase/active-case-at_t-fuze_3350.htm
It blocks the PTT button, when I try to slide my keyboard open..it's not smooth and gets caught on the plastic tabs. I'm RMAing this sucker. Waste of money..
If you looked at the pics, it's a touch pro cover Sorry to burst your bubble.
It's alright , I'm going to return it anyways.
its a cool case but i was waiting for someone to buy it to see how well it is, thanks for the warning, hehe
hey fellas talking about boxwave, it occurs to me that they sell the same stuff you find on ebay for 12x the price; case, charger, usb cables, etc.
is there really any significant difference between their products and the other generic ones aside from the price?
I like their screen protectors, out of the ones i've tried their "ClearTouch Crystal" does the best job of not dulling the screen image at all.. i've gotta say though this case issue amuses me, you can even see in their photos they don't have a fuze in it they have a Touch Pro (no PTT button).. half ass for the win!

I have a fuze on t-mobile, and the PTT button is more of a liability than anything. Does the case cover the button without pressing it? I was thinking that something like this might actually make life easier for me (I wouldn't always be accidentally pressing it, and then getting the error message). I'm not sure what you meant at the end, but does the PTT button make it harder to slide out the keyboard (which would obviously be annoying)? Thanks.
Looks like you could get a strong pair of scissors or an exacto knife and fix it...no? Just cut out a piece to make the PTT button accessible?
I could...but it's really cheap feeling. Not even worth the cash.
I bought a 5 dollar one from EBAY and it fit fine.. I actually had to trim the upper clip from the back cover off because it was making a little noise when closing.. Other than that well worth the $5 shipped.. lol
can you link me to the auction?

Farmer Ted,
The case does not press the PTT button. I actually LIKE the case. I work outside, where my Fuze can be easily damaged, and I know this Active Case will keep it safe. It's so easy to pop the case off as needed. (Which is good, because I need to pop in a second battery quite often.)
As for the person's comment about cutting out the PTT button from the case - I'm going to say, yes, it's possible. You can just extend the opening given for the volume keys. I won't try it unless someone else does first, and gives good instructions as to what tools they used, etc.
Hello guys, from around 1-2 Mounths my Volume Down Key is broken.. so its not totally broken.
I think from a long use of my Blackstone and alot of flashing that is the reason why Down is broken also its strange that is not totaly broken, you know that when you remove the back cover the volume buttons are really small and they look black like some kind of plastic so exactly the plastic of the down volume key is broken and now im able to see under that black plastic the metal.. so with fingers i can press it so i can flash new ROMs without a problem but didn`t work when the cover is there and the volume down button just can`t do anything.. i think that other users here can have the same problem because in all Blackstone this is the same material used and etc so if anyone have expirience like this or any suggestion how can i fix this will be very cool
thanks in advance
Funny, my blackstone has the exact same physical problem, making the vol down key more difficult to press, the lower half of the internal one that black plastic you mention on mine is broken.
I read in the hints of the blackstone wiki that if your phones under warranty you could try to get the carrier to fix it, but thats not an option for me since I pulled mine completely apart.
I think its best if you can substitute the broken plastic with something maybe, I really haven't bothered for mine since the button still actually works with the case on it just needs a firmer press.
I have repaired plastic damage on pc cases before (broken front door hinges and such), I just used superglue, some of those plastic 5.1/4" or the 3.1/2" ATA clips you get on some cases, and a stanly.
Im sure I could carve out a small piece plastic that would work.
If you really want to go one further, then what I can suggest is taking the two plastic back covers off your phone, and actually repairing the black plastic part on the back cover, my guess is you could use a couple of layers of heat shrink and glue and with enough time and effort achieve a good result, see, the actual volume button PCB hopefully isnt damaged for yours, as it isn't for mine, and if thats the case then its actually just that internal black cover that is a tiny bit broken.
I fix it today and i will explain how if anyone have the same problem to know what to do its very easy for around 1 minute work and now work perfect:
Because of the broken half plastic of the volume down button the problem was that when im with back cover and i press the volume down key didn`t work because the back cover dont button when is pressed cannot press the volume down button that is on the device.. because all is so tinny and this black plastic that is on the button is around 1/10 of the milimeter very very tinny but on the same time this is enought the button to cannot be pressed. So i remove the back cover and from paper tape i cut one litle squere with the size of the button .. but because the paper tape is really really tinny i put 3-4 paper tapes in one they to become more chik then i apply the paper tape exactly on the down button and then put the back cover so now when i press the volume down button work again because this paper tape help the button to be pressed
Very easy fix for 1 minute.. of course better will be if you don`t have problems like this.. but when heppan you know what to do
nice work!
Looking back at the images I took when replacing my touchscreen and lcd, I noticed that the part of plastic that does suffer the damage isn't actually a part of the outer shell casing, but is actually applied in some way over the top of the soldered buttons on the tiny volume PCB (& ribbon), therefore, you could always take off the shell, remove the pcb with tweesers, apply a small it of electrical tape, and put it back together to achieve a more permanent result
I should've done this when i fixed my screen, I might look into fixing it in the above way in the near future as the volume down button doesnt work that well currently.
I did have exactly the same problem with my volume down key....
Because I still was in the period of the guarantee I sent my phone back to HTC repair center I get it back after 2 weeks with a new volume down key (they changed that broken very very thin plastic) and now it works again perfectly!

The question is if you have a Hardware problem like this broken plastic do u need to re flash to stock ROM when you are going to ask for repair? or when you dont have any problem with the device.. because the volume down key have nothing to do with the software etc do u can go to ask for repair with costum rom?

No way you always have to flash the stock rom (and stock spl!!! they check if "olinex" is there in bootloader!) when you send your phone to the repair center... so did I.
Although this broken vol key has nothing to do with the software the repair center has done a complete test of the phone. And this includes flashing the newest stock rom again. Yes, although I have flashed the latest official HTC rom when I send it to repair center they do that again (after they repaired my device)!! So you always get a completely blank phone back from this repair center.
(spoken from the repair center here in germany but I think this is always the same in every country)
I ask because here in Bulgaria i think we do not have official HTC repair center.. so when i buy the device from somewhere they give me 2 years waranty but from them i mean.. if i have troubles i need to go to the places from where i buy the device and they will repair it.. they will not send it to HTC official or anything else..
thats is the reason why i ask you

same here in germany... i get the name/adress for this repair center from my shop where i bought my touch hd. And then I had the choice if I send my touch hd to my shop (and then they send it to this adress) or I send it myself to the repair center.
I think it'll be the same in other countries. HTC has "partners" in every country for such repair/warrenty things. For germany the repair center is called "arvato services solutions GmbH" (so not an official HTC firm I think)
